virus into a killer? In an engaging multimedia presentation, Dr. Michael Greger

traces the human role in the evolution of this virus. In the face of the coming

pandemic, Dr. Greger reveals what we can do to protect our families and what

human society to can do to reduce the likelihood of such potential catastrophes

in the future.
